Only the District
of Columbia scored lower. Eighth-graders fared slightly
better, outscoring students in California , Mississippi , Hawaii , Louisiana and the District
of Columbia .
This is the first-ever vocabulary report
from NAEP, which is the only standardized test taken by a sample of students in
every state. That makes the results more comparable than other state
achievement tests, which vary significantly in difficulty. NAEP has released
reports on reading achievement for years, but a specific vocabulary section has
now been added to the test. T
he latest report, which includes results from
2011, is the first public look at how well students understand the meanings of
words.
